I stopped in to Edson's the other day and walked right in with no wait. He was a gentleman who was very professional and interested in not only securing a new customer but also ensuring I received the cut I wanted. I have to say he is one of the first barbers I have had in ages that not only trimmed my eyebrows but finished them with the straight razor. I keep a pretty traditional cut and he did an excellent job of shaping me up. I enjoyed talking to him and his shop is very nicely decorated to suit my style. I hate chain barbers, I stick with the classics and when I see a case displaying pomade I know I am in the right place. Classic shop that you will be proud to visit. Adult cuts cost $20 read more

I went to this barbershop today and I had the pleasure of meeting Edson and received probably the best haircut I've ever had in my life. And the price is nice and it's a beautiful little spot to get a really good Sharpe haircut. I highly recommend it! read more

Edison has pleasently surprized me! He knows his tools, how to shape difficult hair. Was very pleased. Great to chat with while you are in the chair as well. He's brought back the classic barbershop and it's all good. He's not a beautician, he's a barber, and a darn good one! read more

I've lived in Tampa for 20 years, have been to many, many barber shops and Edson by far cuts the best hair in town. The first time I went, I was blown away because not only did he cut my hair but he gave me a great look that I didn't expect. Have been going to him for years now and would not go anywhere else. Definitely give him a try. Shaun read more

Been here a few times and Edson always does an awesome job! He is quick and I've never had less than a great experience here

This guy just messed up my haircut pretty bad. I should've gone to great clips ... what a joke.. never going there again! Asked for a low fade with 1.5 inch clip he gave me a high and tight to the skin! Idiot read more

Terrible if you want an actual haircut. I called ahead of time to ask if the barber can cut with scissors all the way around cause I know barbers are too lazy to do that now. The guy said yes though. So - They close at 5 and I get there at 3:50. Get in the chair at 4:15 with one guy behind me. Barber has since locked the door and turned off the open sign and is just rushing to get out of there. - Tell him I wanted what I had just shorter and cleaned up with scissors all the way around like I called about. Guess he didn't know what that meant because he immediately gets his buzzer out and starts cutting my sides and back before I could say anything. Keep in mind he's just flying through the haircut to end his day. - Did the trick where they keep you turned away from the mirror so you can't see what's going on and puts gel in your haIr (without asking) immediately after done cutting so you cant tell if the haircut is good or not. - They're cash only and didn't see signs prior to getting a haircut Like I said this place stinks if you want an actual haircut. If you are just looking for a buzz or fade it's fine. read more

I recently moved from California where I had been going to the same barber for over 10 years. When I arrived in Tampa, I immediately started looking for a barber that could deliver the same quality of service that I received from my previous barber. The name Edson kept coming up and a personal recommendation caused me to see if I could get an appointment. As it turns out, Edson, the owner, keeps his appointments to one-at-a-time, (wait in your car if you're early) to mitigate any concern over C-19. I happened to catch him when he had an opening, so I got in fairly quickly. Edson is a very experienced barber and he took the time to give me a great haircut. In fact, I couldn't describe what I really wanted for a haircut, so I just asked for a medium trim. However, when I told Edson who recommended me and that I wanted my hair cut the way this person did his hair, Edson immediately knew what I wanted. Beyond the great haircut, Edson is a very personable guy so we were quickly talking like old friends. I highly recommend Edson if you're looking for a great quality haircut done by a professional barber. read more

Edson's is one of the best Barber's I've been too...I've been here multiple times, and I live out of state. Always get a fade, and never disappointed. read more

Edsons Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Edson the first barber to cut my hair. I am new to the area and went to his barber shop per recommendation of my roommate. The shop is conveniently located near South Howard, so after my cut, I went out and grabbed a bite to eat. Anyway, I usually slick my hair back and after about four weeks, my hair was getting out of control. I told Edson to just "tighten up my look" but he insisted on a few changed to my hairstyle. He did a damn well job blending in my sides (as the top of my hair is longer) and did an awesome job blending in my out of control sideburns. The best part of the cut was how clean he made the back of my neck/hair look. I've never had the back of my hair look so fresh, so clean. I will certainly be back to see Edson for my next hair cut. read more

Very nice shop and awesome barber. I would definitely recommend Edson to anyone looking for a true professional and great service.

Came here out of convenience since my usual barber is on the other side of town. Landed the owner Edson. When explaining how I wanted my hair cut he seemed pretty annoyed. I have short hair and simply asked that he take a little off the top and to make sure that the top is the same length all over. He instead didn't actually touch the front of my hair but made the middle shorter and the back even shorter than that. He also didn't blend the front part of my head into the side, so now I have this cool front flap that looks like a misplaced toupee. He doesn't turn your chair around either so you can see what he is doing in the mirror, which I thought was interesting. To top it off, he loaded my hair up with hair product while attempting to style my hair. Shouldn't you ask someone first before doing all of that? I immediately washed it all out. It is clear that he had one style that he gives his customers. So, now I have to visit my barber to have my front flap removed. Edson's was a waste of $30. read more

I've been in Tampa since 2012 and this is the best barber I've found so far. But it's not a $ cost. A basic haircut is $25.

Last time I was here I came to Edson and just asked for him to clean up my hair and had a good experience so went back. This time I asked for a low fade and for him clean up my part. Was I in for the ride of my life. Absolutely horrible. Not sure what had happened since Jan, but literally he went skin all the way to the top and my part is 1/2 an inch wide!!!!! No freaking way is that any way shape or form acceptable. If I could post pictures of my hair right now, I would. It's horrendous and I have a wedding tomorrow. And to put the cherry on top, the haircut was 25.00 and I gave a 5.00 tip. Never going back there again. Rather take my chances with the barber on base. Atleast it's 1/2 the price. read more

I've been coming Edson's for over 2 years now and believe me it's the best barber shop in Tampa. Edson's shop has that classic barbershop feel with a mix of old school bullfighting and Frank Sinatra pictures with Real Madrid posters throughout his shop( Hala Madrid!). Before I went to Edson I got a boring ceasar fade but I trusted Edson and he's groomed my hair to a perfect combover fade that I couldn't be happier with. I always leave Edson's with a smile on my face after a precise haircut full of laughs. You won't regret coming to Edson's barbershop! read more

Can't be beat! I've been to three other well reviewed barbers since moving to tampa and none were as professional and enjoyable as Edson's!

Fantastic old school barber shop. I've taken my 4 year old son here several times now and they have by far been the best haircuts he has ever gotten. The owner is cool...the price is right-take your kids here for haircuts! read more

Great barbershop. I wish a shop like this was in my town! Good prices and an excellent atmosphere lead to a great time.

If classic is what you want... Thus is the place. Nice people. Nice place. They shave bear only Monday through Thursday.

I've been going to Edson personally for years since when he was at another place. He and his staff always do a great job, are dependable and theres never a long wait. I would recommend his shop to anyone in the S Tampa area looking for a good barber. read more

Found this place in bad need of a haircut yesterday. You know you're in good hands when your barber asks, "Who cut your hair last time?" This tells me that my barber is very well experienced and only wants the best for his customers. That is exactly what I received...the best! Friendly, professional, and classic. Nothing beats an outstanding haircut. You will not be disappointed. read more

Edson is fantastic! He takes his time and thoroughly cuts your hair to detail. I will be coming back again and again!

I have been searching for a good barber forever in south Tampa and today I found him. What an awesome experience, one of the finest haircuts I have ever received. I put this place on par with the the kind of treatment I used to get at a old barber shop off Via Argentina in Panama. From the smell of the place to all of the old bull fighting posters on the walls, a true hidden gem. read more

Always a great cut! Even if I'm traveling and need a cut I will wait until I get back to Tampa so he can cut my hair. This guy knows his craft. Always a great cut, clean lines, and takes his time to make sure the cut matches the face and the look. Trims up my beard and gets my lines back in order each and every time. read more

Favorite barbershop in Tampa! Edson runs a fantastic business, cuts hair like a boss, and is very personable. Big TVs, short wait for a cut, and happy every time. Bonus points for using straight blades for shaving and trimming. Just what you'd hope for in a quality barbershop! read more

Stopped in today for the first time and was not disappointed. Great cut, great attention to detail, explained the cut and what he was doing. Great atmosphere. Great clientele. I won't be making the drive up to Heights Barber Shop anymore. Edson has a new regular customer. read more

I moved to Tampa a month ago and have been looking for a barber locally. The reviews are dead on. Edson is very friendly and greets everyone as they walk in the door. There was a family and another gentleman in front of my and he did a great job with the kids and the other guy. He recognized that it was my first time there and inquired about whom had previously did my hair. He asked what I wanted done, gave some suggestions, and got to work. We had good conversation as Edson worked and he was very genuine. I am completely satisfied with the cut and have found my barber here in Tampa. The cut was $20 (cash only) and worth every penny! read more

In search of a classic Barber in the Tampa area, I decided in going into Edson's after calling. The best part, was no wait, Edson had me seated, as soon as I walked in. After my cut was completed, he had many customers come in; this is a popular shop. Edson's shop has all the decor and styling of an older school Barber shop, was a nice touch. He is very fast with thr clippers and scissors, and a master of his craft. He is even complete with straight-edge razor shave finish on the neck, with a bit of hot foam. I consider my hair very hard to deal with and extremely coarse, so it's nice to have that shave get close. The barber, in my experience, is always superior to the non-barber and Edson was no exception. He's been a barber forever and we chatted; it is always nice to get to know the Barber cutting your hair. I really liked the unusual black and white barbers pole, which was swank. It is an awesome shop and it is a very spacious shop and the barbers chairs are very comfortable. Every time I go to a barber, I get nicked in a few places, I only noticed a couple, after my haircut, but with razor sharp tools to get the job done, stuff happens..All in all, one of thr best barbershop I have been to across all the barbers I have been to in many places. This is an excellent shop and man to go for your Barber needs....Thank you Edson! read more

Edsons Barber Shop - Some of the highly decorated wall at Edson's.... - Barbers Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Edson is a fantastic barber. When I move to a new town, one of the most important relationships I have to make is with whomever cuts my hair. This is the kind of place your grandfather would have appreciated, especially with the way Edson expertly finishes off the final details with a straight-blade razor. I even started taking my little boy there, and Edson does such a better job than the supposed kids-cut expert I originally took him to in the mall. This is an old-school barber shop in the truest sense of the term. read more

Thank you for making my son's haircut so easy as you did for him. He was very concerned about getting his hair cut and you made him feel amazing. We will be bringing all the family here as well from now on. read more

Visiting Tampa on travel and needed a haircut...found this place on yelp...very good cut...decent prices...would definitely come back again...guy is good with the razor too...always a great find these days :) read more

Edson is a great barber. He clearly takes great pride in what he does and it shows in his work. Always a great visit.

I have been Edson's client since 2013 and always leave his shop happy.. very professional and honest person which is hard to find these days. I never had any bad experiences with him nor have my friends that started going to his shop. I will recommend him to anybody without hesitation. read more

Really good place, I moved here from NY and will only be coming here for now on. Takes his time and knows what he is doing.

The reviews by others are all accurate. Edson's is a true "Barber Shop". I highly recommend this place to anyone who is tired of the "churn and burn" [Insert adjective or noun] clip places. At Edsons's you get a an actual Barber who knows how to cut hair and isn't tying to cut 8 heads of hair an hour. Glad I've finally found a Barber in Tampa. read more

Stopped in here as I work at MacDill and could not be more pleased with the services. All of the previous reviews are accurate. This is an old school type barbershop in the best possible way. Edson is an excellent barber. If you are looking for an excellent barber experience in the Tampa area, this is the place to go. read more
